  Enter The Dragon

  £495.00

  “Their deadly mission: to crack the forbidden island of Han !”

  Rightly regarded as one of the key and most collectable movie posters for a film that created its own unique genre and provided the vehicle to launch Bruce Lee (albeit briefly) as a screen & cultural icon. Bob Peak created the artwork and his design was used globally as the imagery became as memorable as its late star. Whilst the core artwork remained the same slight variations appeared in different countries with this Japanese re-issue one-sheet format probably the most striking as the action imagery (including a nunchuk wielding Bruce Lee) was offset against a black background. Offered here is an exceptional Japanese B1 film poster for “Enter the Dragon” from the 1997 re-release, finished with a high gloss sheen it presents to stunning effect and displays minimal handling wear. This originally rolled (as issued) example is rarely seen in this large Japanese format and in such high grade unrestored investment grade condition. A striking piece that represents an extremely scarce and collectable example of original movie memorabilia & a fitting tribute to the martial arts legend BRUCE LEE.

  Trivia: In 2004, this movie was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” in the United States and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

  On Any Sunday

  £395.00

  “Motorcycle sport and the men who ride”

  One of the more unusual and certainly an uncommon Steve McQueen movie posters. Truly dynamic photographic action imagery by John Bechtold for Bruce Brown’s 1971 motorcycle sports documentary “On Any Sunday”. Eye-catching and memorable the ‘blurred’ motorcycle imagery perfectly evacuates the speed speed and excitement of the race. Very scarce and becoming hard to find due to the Film’s very limited release and low advertising budget in its day. Now an iconic and much admired motor sport movie showing just why Steve McQueen was the true King of Cool and equally as talented, whether on two and four wheels. Presented rolled (as issued), it displays to very good effect with only minimal handling wear and represents a fantastic piece of McQueen, Motorcycle and cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The film was financed by Steve McQueen who also used his influence to allow filming at Camp Pendleton, (a marine base in California), when permission was originally denied to Bruce Brown.
